If you’re currently browsing the market for a brand-new bed, you’ve probably come across a selection of ottoman beds. These unique bases are great for several reasons, which the experts at Comfybedss explain throughout this blog!

Keep reading to find out all about why you need to invest in a bed with ottoman storage.

What’s a bed with ottoman storage?

A bed with ottoman storage is a bed base that lifts to reveal a sizeable storage space underneath. The mattress platform is usually lifted using gas-lift hydraulics or pistons, which make the lift easier and keep the frame raised until you lower it.

The bed can be raised from either the foot end or one side of the bed depending on your preferences and room layout.

Reasons to invest in an ottoman bed

In fact, given their abundance of benefits, we can’t think of a reason why you shouldn’t consider one of these beds! So, why do we rate ottoman beds with storage so highly?

Maximise your bedroom space with an ottoman bed

Thanks to a sizeable storage compartment beneath the mattress platform, ottoman beds are an ingenious way to make better use of your space.

No more will you have to depend on bulky stand-alone units such as chests of drawers and extra wardrobes – you can store your excess belongings such as seasonal wear and childhood keepsakes under your bed instead.

By removing unnecessary storage units, you’ll gain much-needed floor space to open up your room and create an illusion of space.

Declutter your space and organise your belongings

Sometimes, even after a big clearout, we can still be left with more items than we know what to do with. Beds with ottoman storage can provide a home for belongings that are currently cluttering your bedroom, and keep them organised at the same time.

You can also add handy organiser trays or boxes to enhance your storage set-up. Organisers are great for shoe storage, as well as DVD arranging and excess jewellery storage.

Infuse style into your bedroom

Ottoman beds come in a beautiful selection of styles and colours, capable of revitalising any dull or lacklustre space. Whether you opt for natural oak or fabric upholstering, you’ll have plenty of choice.

Glitz silver and smooth grey velvet panels are all the rage at the moment, but there are plenty of neutral beige weaves and bolder materials to select from. Diamond tufted buttons are a firm favourite among both modern and traditional spaces.

Is a bed with ottoman storage right for me?

Although ottoman beds are very versatile and excellent space-saving solutions, they tend to cost a little more than standard frames or divan beds. So if you’re looking for the most affordable bed possible with storage, we would recommend a divan instead.

However, if you want to make the most of your underbed storage, an ottoman bed base is certainly the way to go!
